Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration
Nintendo Switch (2022)
This game is the gold standard for vintage game compilations. It's a collection of Atari arcade and console games that can either be selected to play from a menu or experienced as part of a larger timeline of the company's history.
I spent the evening playing through part of it. Some of the games were old favorites from my childhood while others were games that I was seeing for the first time. The latter includes an unpublished sequel to Adventure, and I'm kinda proud to say that I was able to beat the game.
Playing this inspired me to spend a little time going through the NES catalog of my Nintendo Online subscription. I finished Mighty Bomb Jack, but I'd be lying if I said I beat the game because I had to use the rewind feature quite a few times.
